A small present for you all while we enjoy the summer sun, pretend we’re from mainland Europe, get a farmer tan, slack off work, drink in the sunshine and get grumpy with each other. I’ve collated these tunes according to one rule – if they screamed ‘SUMMER’ they were in. A Nice and eclectic 48 minutes.

Brilliant little mix, makes working inside a lot more bearable. Would you be interested in doing a mix for My Top Five sometime?
Absolutely dude.
Great mix – although I’d add “Two Doors Down” by Mystery Jets – nails the 80s revival and the summer vibe in one fell swwop. If that song (and video) doesn’t make you want to bop around like a fool, I’ll eat my hat!
Nice one – here comes the summer
agreed! thx once again… your site is such a good place to come to if i need some new tunes! respect
Nialler, that Diplo tune is blowing my mind. Cheers for the mix bro…
Mmm perfect for Summer!
